LFC vs Swansea (H) - Sat 21 Jan 12.30

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

We've won 5, drawn 4 of our last 10 League games, they're bottom - below even Hull & Sunderland - and have lost 6 of their last 8 conceding 5, 4 twice & 3 three times in those games so expect a 10-0-0 formation.

 

 

We're a mirror of each other - we've scored 49 - they've conceded 49, we've conceded 24, they've scored 23.

 

I'd take any win right now coupled with a good performance

A draw then, you mockering twot.

[Gethin]

The fixtures fall pretty nicely - I'd go pretty much full strength for both this & Southampton (who don't play until the Sunday early game)

[psl]

Someone ban NYR from the thread.

[Tobes Rafa]

Hopefully we can be 8-0 up after ten minutes to allow us to rest key players for the next game

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Hopefully we can be 8-0 up after ten minutes to allow us to rest key players for the next game

If we're 8-0 up after 10mins then it will feel like a defeat if we don't win 72-1.

 

Im budgeting a 5min cameo appearance from Moreno.

[Conrad]

If we sort out Matip we can be at full strength for this bar Can for Mane

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

for the Chelsea game on 4 Feb you mean

72-54 then if you bring Moreno on for 5

Sometimes I don't understand your sense of humour, or 'in jokes'.

 

Then I realise that I'm way off the mark

[Cam]

Mignolet

Clyne Lovren Klavan Milner

Wijnaldum Henderson Lallana

Someone Firmino Coutinho

 

Reward TAA and Woodburn with spots on the bench. Perhaps show Sturridge & Origi up by bringing Woodburn on before them.

[Billy Dane]

Delighted to see we signed someone in time for the game.

Move Lallana forward and put Can in and that's it I think. Pretty certain last night's side was derived from that 11. 

[realtarragona]

Prefer to see Lallana in midfield. He's been great from there this season and think we look a better side with him there too. Plus it gets an extra goalscorer on the pitch.

And it means I don't need to watch Can either which is another bonus.

[Swipe]

Yeah think I'd rather Lallana in midfield and stick with Origi up front.

Then I realise that I'm way off the mark

 

someone said in a previous thread something about getting up a good lead (I think vs Sot'on in the 1L) and then resting players for Chelsea despite a bunch of games inbetween

Mignolet

Clyne Lovren Klavan Milner

Wijnaldum Henderson Lallana

Someone Firmino Coutinho

Someone probably equals Can.

 

Or goal-machine Lucas.

 

Possibly Origi, but he's been beyond poor recently.

 

Or maybe - just maybe - Ojo/Ejaria

[rednotdead]

We should replace Mané with the player most like him in the squad 

 

Mignolet

Clyne Lovren Klavan Milner

Wijnaldum Henderson Lallana

Ojo Firmino Coutinho

 

 

But we won't so probably Origi

[Maldini]

I don't think Ojo is as direct as Mané. He tends to slow the ball down and then burst past the defender once he presses him. Mane is much quicker in possession, one of the reasons he is so dangerous I think is that he is so decisive and doesn't give the opposition a chance to regain their shape. 

[Gethin]

It would be a good game to start Ojo if he's fit enough - means everyone else playing their best position and he needs game time for experience

[muleskinner]

Clement has said that Swansea are probably going to be relegated, need to help that come to fruition. Hopefully we are all over them from the off, they will crumble.

[Cam]

It would be a good game to start Ojo if he's fit enough - means everyone else playing their best position and he needs game time for experience

Play him in a full strength team and let's see what he's made of.  It's always difficult to judge talent in much-changed teams.

Oh ok.

 

Chelsea on 4th Feb though? The day we play Hull City, you mean?

[Conrad]

We can't make a like for like change for Mane without sacrificing quality, so lesser of two evils is play Lallana in the front 3 and bring in Can

[Case]

I'd play Hendo, Gini, Lallana.

 

Then Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge.

[Conrad]

I'd play Hendo, Gini, Lallana.

 

Then Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge.

that's the other option, yeah.
